The news from Gaza – dispelling myths and telling the truth
The crisis in Gaza - harming two million Palestinians - is worsening by the day. The mainstream British media carries little news of it, and social media too often plats to prejudices. In this seminar, British and Middle East experts will explore with the audience how the national and Scots media, and our elected representatives, can address this desperate challenge to humanity.
